Radiation and Magnetic Pressure Support in Accretion Disks Around Supermassive Black Holes and the Physical Origin of the Extreme-Ultraviolet to Soft X-Ray Spectrum
Yan-Fei Jiang et al 2025 ApJ 988 43 Simulated black-hole disks with accretion rates between 0.03 and 4 times the Eddington rate are capable of reproducing the spectra seen from real disks, yielding…
